Bar à cocktails dans le Quartier Chinois de Montréal. La bouffe Cantonaise est disponible pour ceux qui veulent quelques bouchées en sirotant leurs breuvages.Live DJ tous les soirs.
Bar Le Mal Nécessaire se présente comme une adresse incontournable pour les cocktails à Montréal, avec des créations originales et des profils forts, des boissons parfois servies en petites portions mais toujours bien équilibrées, et un service attentif qui sait guider les clients. L’ambiance oscille entre le cocon cosy et une ambiance plus animée selon les soirs, le décor chic et la musique pouvant aller du vinyle discret à des sets live qui peuvent être bruyants, rendant les conversations plus difficiles à certains moments. Les avis s’accordent sur la maîtrise des cocktails et l’originalité des saveurs, même si les prix peuvent sembler élevés et qu’il peut y avoir des périodes d’attente lors des pics d’affluence; le manque de petites assiettes est parfois noté. Globalement, Bar Le Mal Nécessaire est perçu comme un lieu sophistiqué et convivial pour sortir entre amis ou en amoureux, offrant une expérience cocktail de haut niveau et une atmosphère mémorable, avec des soirées qui marquent autant par leur qualité que par leur énergie.
This bar was an absolute must-visit on my list with my partner, she had been to a previous iteration of this bar - & it shows that this place has consistently been a success since it's grown into a space 3x its original size. We were served by Elyssa & she was so helpful, I don't know how she knew that I was craving a pineapple flavoured drink, but she suggested I try the house special (also called Le Mal Nécessaire) - which was delectable. My partner got Elyssa's take on a hurricane & only superlatives could suffice to explain how good it was. Everyone should visit this bar when they're in Montréal.
Decent drinks in a beautiful new venue. The biggest problem was there weren't enough bartenders to provide adequate service, & we waited too long between orders & to receive the bill. The pina colada was surprisingly just okay. We found the venue got very loud as it's a fairly cavernous space.

Amazing nights guaranteed at this bar which used to rocks the Chinatown & now is bigger & better in its new location. The DJs are great, decor settings beautiful, drinks are a work of art of the service personalized & friendly. Special kudos to Yohan who made my visit so great I went back 2 days later with a larger group of friends. My new hangout when I'll be in Montreal !
This was our "home bar" while visiting Montreal. The drinks were fun & delicious, but even better was the service. Our servers (New Brunswick & Hugo) were extremely kind, engaging & made our experience fabulous every night we were there. Check it out yourselves people!!
Let us commence with the important aspect: the cocktails. I sampled 3 drinks, which were satisfactory but ultimately unremarkable. Some are presented in an extravagant manner, such as those served in coconuts; however, fail to elicit a sense of good taste that would compel a return visit. The pricing is rather steep given the quality offered. The garnishes were rather lackluster-I have certainly encountered superior presentations. As for the service, it was adequate but not exceptional; it could be described as merely neutral.
A quintessential Montréal speakeasy. New location is gorgeous & elevates this already amazing place to new heights. Excellent drinks & service. Highly recommended.
A must-visit destination for all Montreal tourists! Great ambiance, phenomenol service & great drinks. It starts at the door. Very humble bouncers, & once you are seated, great hostesses charm you with the offerings. Ours was able to do a good read of rum vs. whisky. & then we had a couple more rounds. Everyone is welcome (three single guys In my case), but this is an amazing place to bring a date. The DJ is spectacular, too! Awesome transitions. Thank you for a great night. Would love to visit again!!

We only went for a few drinks before going out for dinner but what a great experience at the bar with the bartender, he was wonderful & engaging at explaining the various cocktails. We enjoyed the conversation about drinks & spirits. I would definitely go back at a time when it's not to busy to enjoy that time again. I highly recommend to anyone looking for imaginative cocktails both avec & sans alcohol.
Very swanky cocktail bar with a book of a menu. Five star drinks, service, & atmosphere. Our waitress (long, dark hair with tatts) was amazing - very friendly, knowledgeable, & welcoming. Highly recommend the coco supremo drink.

Bar discret avec une ambiance tamisée parfaite pour un tête-à-tête ou une rencontre entre amis. Service professionnel avec une carte des drinks bien détaillée & diversifiée.
Double review, of the old place & new First went there about a year ago. Small, but the drinks were great, staff was friendly & quick. I loved the little food menu from the place upstairs. The special drinks were amazing & i ordered several. Fast forward to the new location. The bar looks amazing. Lot more open then the old place. The bouncers were friendly & joking with us while we waited for a place. This is where the slight disappointment started. Once seated we waiting almost 30 mins for a server to come see us. People seated after us got served their drinks before the even took our order. In 1 hour we saw our server once. I'll give them that it was a busy evening, but it was irritating. The drinks were ok, I am not sure if they changed the recipe or ingredients since the old location but Le Mal Necessaire tasted a lot different then the old one. Maybe the pineapple was from concentrate? Something didn't taste the same in it. Still good but I'd drop the rating a star of how it used to be. & they don't have the snack menu anymore. SO over all great looking place. But maybe a victim of its own success? I didn't have the rude experience that some seem to speak of but our server took even longer to bring our bill then to take the drinks. another server saw us getting annoyed & came to help us. So service was mixed, drinks were better at the old place. But they layout was great. Good atmosphere. Maybe it was an off day.
Jess is amazing. Fun, friendly & incredibly talented. Drinks are fresh, creative & delicious. Will be back for sure. Could not help but try everything on the menu & some originals. Miraculously felt pretty good in the AM.
